Today's first update: Chapter 3429! 1/4!
Beyond internal restructuring, the more crucial matter was choosing the overall path of development for the human race.
Yang Yao took a deep breath. That breath seemed to carry the resolve to sever the past, as well as cautious expectations for the future. Enunciating each word with absolute clarity, she declared, "Originally, according to the established plan and the hopes of countless compatriots, our human race intended to seize the final stage of this Millennium Period War of the Myriad Races to consolidate all our strength and make one all-out bid to ascend to the exalted rank of a 'Royal Race'!"
The words "Royal Race" weighed as heavily as mountains.
It was the glory countless human ancestors had dreamed of, the goal that made billions of clanspeople's blood boil, and the direction Xu Kun himself had once striven to advance.
For this goal, who knew how many outstanding heroes had followed one after another, sacrificing their heads and spilling their blood at unimaginable cost.
Achieving the status of a Royal Race was the human race's great revival, a replication of the ancient human race that had once ruled all ages alone!
"But now, I have decided that this goal... will be postponed, or even proactively abandoned for the foreseeable future!"
"Abandoned?!"
Those two words exploded like thunderclaps in the hearts of Hao Jian, Sikong Ting, and the others.
Even Yan and Shen-bao, the most composed among them, had traces of shock and confusion flash through their eyes.
This was not merely changing a plan. It was practically overturning the very foundation of meaning behind what so many had struggled for over the past nineteen years!
Yet Yang Yao's gaze at this moment was firmer than ten-thousand-year black ice, more unshakable than refined steel.
